Drop Command

Welcome back Pilots

Drop Command: Online,

All Systems Operational

After many years of development, Drop Command launches today.

Drop Command is a tactical combat and strategy game where you command Mechs, Tanks, VTOLs, and Infantry in battles for territory across an entire star cluster. Engage in combat from the cockpit as a battlefield commander, direct your ground forces and call reinforcements, train your fellow pilots from recruits to aces, and build your empire amidst the ashes of your vanquished foes.

The game has evolved since we first started development, and getting here has been a very long journey. Over the last several months we have been preparing the game, listening to feedback from the demo, and getting Drop Command ready to launch.

It is finally time to hand the controls over to you.

If you have been following development, playing the demo, or have added Drop Command to your wishlist, we sincerely thank you. Your support made it possible for us to keep building this game.

The full game is now live on Steam.

Welcome to the Hyades Cluster, Pilot.

Good hunting, Drop Command is now online.

Welcome back Pilots!
